    Nicely done. Your sense of color and mystery combined, beautiful tones inside this place, and so still in contrast to the elusive ghostly figure.

  • Astrid Pardew replied

    I’m humbled by your take on this Barbara. You have such a beautiful way with words (and art of course!)

    I love the warm tones in this image. The candles add wonderful small highlights to the marvellously aged walls, the light at the end of the alleyway gives a sense of mystery just waiting to be discovered, and the ghostly figure adds further to the mystery. Beautifully done.

  • Astrid Pardew replied

    Thank you clarkey! I’m happy you like it. This is one of my favourites mostly for the same reasons that you mentioned! :)

  • Joanne  Bradley

    Joanne Bradley

    Excellent work! The image stands on its own with great color and DOF, but that blurry figure turns into a mystery!

  • Astrid Pardew replied

    I was lucky to get this Joanne.. Sometimes it really is a matter of being at the right place at the right time with photography! Thank you for the lovely comments!!

  • Barbara Morrison

    Barbara Morrison

    Beautiful timeless shot!

  • Astrid Pardew replied

    Cheers Barbara. I like this picture too. To me it brings back the feeling of actaully being there… It was a moody place to be…eerie,dramatic, mysterious but warm and friendly at the sme time..

  • chriso

    chriso

    Fantastic image – the light and glow are amazing – the contrast between the moving figure and the detail of the passageway mesmerising – well done.

  • Astrid Pardew replied

    I’m happy you like it chriso. Thank you for your lovely observations!

    I like the way you think…’The Citadel Ghost’! I can imagine a French soldier, killed violently, wandering the halls, or robed and ancient Arab warrior, scimitar flashing the orange light of this evening.

    This photo was previously admitted to the group Photography 101. I like it alot,however, the group guidelines ask for an explanation in your description about the photography aspects of the work. Can you please give more detail about your camera, lens, settings, what photography techniques you used, etc? I’ll check back again later to see if it meets guidelines, but if not, I will have ot remove it. Please remember its not a personal thing, but we would liek this group to be a learning group for others. You can resubmit it at any time with the forementioned changes! Thank you!

  • Astrid Pardew replied

    Hi Taylor,
    I understand. In fact there used to be an explanation on this and I deleted it as I had placed this image in a challenge. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
